Closing prices : AYLESBURY, Wednesday. The annual meeting of the Royal and Central Bucka Agricultural Association took place this day. The show generally gave great satisfaction, and the attendance of visitors was numerous. which we are particularly connected—l mean the agricul tural interest, on all its various classes of proprietors and cultivators of the soil, and of, the labouring classes connected with it. Gentlemen. I am not disposed to think, although we hear of the great fortunes which are made by some, and the great prospects of prosperity which are open to others, that on the whole we have no great cause of com plaint. It is very true that a proprietor of the land does not get 20 per cent. for his money. (Laughter, and hear, hear.) In that remark I am sure every one present will agree. (A Voice—We should bo sati fled with five.) I don't know that any one has ever indulged the dream of getting 190, which I observed the other day was aenounced co have been distributed as a dividend by a society of apparently great eminence and promise. (Laughter.) It was said in days of old that if a man invested his property in land he ought to be sat'sfied with obtaining as good an interest as if he invested it in Consols, I doubt very much whether any landed proprietor can accomplish that. Doubtless, if a man buys a single farm he may by geed fortune obtain a good return. But a man who has a large estate does not obtain a large return, and he does not seek to obtain it, be cause he is remunerated in a different manner and by dif ferent means. He is the possessor of property which by the constitution of this country is invested with the perform ance of public duties, and does not look for those returns which other sources of investment provide. But although a landed proprietor may not obtain the greater return which proprietors of other capital obtain, he must remember this, that he possesses a property which has this peculiarity— that it is always increasing in value, and that its increase of value does not really depend upon the rate of interest it produces. This is a.very remarkable, but undeniable sir • cumstance. (Hear, hear.) In a country of advancing prosperity, increasing population, and increasing wealth the landowner possesses a property of which there is only a limited portion, and however slight may be the return which he obtains for the investment, still, from the popu larity of the property, from the manner in which our social system has invested it with the performance of public du ties, and the consequent respect and honour, it is a pro perty always increasing in value ; and if that be so, the owner of such property has no right to complain. Let us look for a moment to the condition of the occupancy of soil. It is said that the farmers are never content. Well, I have lived a good deal among farmers. They are my best friends. They are very content with me, and I cannot agree to that position. But it is said that the farmer pursues a calling subject to great vicissitudes. Now, the vicissitudes of nature must be viewed on a very great scale. You must not decide by the experience of one or two years, and it has always been my opinion that there is a profundity in the dispensations of Providence which we cannot always solve, and I do not believe that those vicissitudes of which we sometimes complain may not produce effects of a very bene cial character, But this I would impress upon the farmer, that although he in his calling is subject to the vicissitudes of climate, he is not subject to vicissitudes of another cha racter—namely, that of fashion. The farmer follows a call ing which never becomes obsolete. He may cultivate the soil which his father cultivated before him, and if ho likes he knows his son may follow him in the same calling. (A Voice—Not always.) Whereas it is a fact that of all "flashy businesses" we hear of, wholesale or retail, who advertise their goods and their pursuits, and who are said to be realising large profits and great fortunes, none of these businesses are of a permanent character. You would be quite surprised if you had had, as I have had, the duty to ir quire into the average duration of many of these pros perous businesses, which while they flourish fill the ear of the public—you will be surprised to learn how slight is their duration, Twelevo or 13 years is the average duration of those businesses, which, when I hear of the rapid for tunes they are making, I naturally connect it with some period which applies to our own calling, which has existed for generations. The farmer must remember that it is his peculiar privilege to follow a calling that never goes out of fashion, and that if in businesses that are followed by more rapid results where a man turns his capital five or six times a year, the farmer only turns his once. The farmer may, in one respect, be compared to public singers. We hear of public singers being paid large sums every night, but they sing for only a short time, and the farmer should recollect that he is pursuing a calling which, as I have before said, never goes out of fashion, and that is an element of great happiness to a man, and gives him great confidence. The farmer must not only remember that, but he must remember this also, that the objects which he produces have increased in variety and in number, and ho therefore has new sources of profit, and will have, no doubt, still further sources of profit. There is another paint on which, from what I have seen to day. I cannot help bushing, and that is a production which of late has very much interested farmers, and that is wool. That now is one of the meat important features in our agri- The dinner at the George Hotel was presided over by Mr Acton Tindall, and among the guests were the Right Hon. B. Disraeli, M.P., Mr T. T. Bernard, M.P., Mr S. G. Smith, M.P., Sir A. Rothschild, Mr N. M. de Rothschild, Mr J. Hall, the Rev. Dr Booth, the Rev. Mr Fremantle, Mr G. Stone, Mr Dauncy, Mr Tredwell, and numerous other gentlemen connected with the district. The health of "The Queen, the Prince and Princess of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family" having been given, and drunk with the usual honours, The CHAIRMAN proposed "The Army, Navy, and Volun teers," expressing his satisfaction that all political parties were desirous, if possible, of preserving peace. (Cheers.) Lieutenant FREMANTLE, on behalf of the Volunteers, briefly acknowledged the compliment. " The Health of the Bishop and Clergy of the Diocess" was responded to by the Rev. Dr BOOTH. Mr DA.IINCY proposed "The County and Borough Mem bers," with three times three and one cheer more, Mr DISRAELI, on rising to respond to the toast, said, —Mr Chairman and Gentlemen,—l wish very much that my colleagues were present to express on their part, better than I can, their sense of the very kind manner in which you have received the propositions of their healths, I am sure I only speak their feelings when I say that the position which we occupy, through►your confidence, is one which may well satisfy the highest ambition of any Eng lish gentleman, and to bo received with those expressions of good feeling by those among whom we live, and who must be tolerably well acquainted with our cha racter and conduct, is a reward which I and they fully appreciate. (Cheers.) I always took a great interest in these annual meetings of the Royal Buckingham Agricul tural Association, ,I — was Vsent at its first dinner—l will not say that I hop "be at its last—(a laugh) ; bat cer tainly as long a• attend I shall be happy to do so. It is a very ion? t•= since we first met together—more than 30 years—and at that time, and for some time afterwards, here was a very sharp criticism respecting these associa ti, ns. For myself, I never doubted that the principle upon which they were founded was a sound principle, and, throw ing aside all other considerations, if their only effect were to bring together the various classes of agriculturists, that alone would be a very great benefit. But, gentlemen, since these agricultural associations were first instituted, which are now sire% ad over the whole country, the very critics we met have followed our example; but with respect to their exhibition of manufacturing 6kill and manufacturing inge nuity, I shall never offer the criticiemr which they have cultural life, and is a Bourse of very great profit to those who cultivate the soil. I cannot help being surprised that in this county, eepecially in South Bucks, with which lam more intimately acquainted, our fl amasters continue only to breed flocks which produce short wool. The great prz are given for long wool, and I cannot understand why we continue to produce merely short wool in the county of Buckingham.' I should suppose it would have been easy to cross with some of the Glocestershire and Leicestershire breed, and to produce a very choice long weol, with some of the advantageous characteristics of all this short wool, and when I look to the relative prices of long and short wool, I am surprised that we still go on adhering to the system of merely breeding downs and producing short wool. I men tioned this fact to a friend of mine, a neighbour, who has a considerable flock. He perfectly agreed with me, and thought we ought to cress the Downs with the Cotswold. But he said "the great price of wool has been occasioned entirely by the American war, and I have just read in the newspapers that there is going to be peace." He asked my advice on the subject. Now. I don't like giving advice, because his an un necessary responsibility under any circumstances—(laugh ter), but I could not help saying that I did not entirely agree with him that the high price of wool was mainly occasioned by the civil war in America. The tendency of late has been that all articles of raw material, particularly wool, have been rising in price, and when I look at the fact that mixed fabrics, that make the industry of Yorkshire, are be_ coming more popular in the market, it is clear that wool is an article of raw produce for which there is a greater de mand, and if there had been no civil war you would have had a high price for wool, and it would have been the best wool. (Hear, hear.) With regard to the civil war in America I would rather not say much. But when it broke out I was dining at a table of a similar character—l think in Buckingham. Great anxiety was manifested to know what would happen in America, and I took the opportunity of saying—being obliged to give my opinion, that • that war would be a very long war. The general idea was that it would he a very short war, and the American Minister of State announced it a war of 90 days. I ventured to say that it would be a long war, because the causes of that war had been for a long time in preparation. I therefore did not believe that it would be a short war, and the causes of that war are causes that do not lead to short wars. The eman cipation of race, the creation or the defence of national in dependence, or the maintenance of a great empire—when causes of this kind lead people to enter into war they must not be confounded with those comparatively small causes which have brought about the generality of European wars in modern times. (Hear, hear.) When nations go to war to what they call rectify a frontier, or employ a army, these are causes necessarily of a brief duratioa,because their fron tier is rectified or not, and the army which wants to be em ployed has either a sufficient number shot or promoted,and peace naturally takesplace. But the issues in the American war are vast and profound, and it is not to be supposed when men enter into struggles of that kind, 'hey will throw them aside like children tired of anew toy. I, therefore, have great hesitation in believing—l cannot bring myself to believe that we are so near peace in America as is sup posed. The fact is that there are occasions when the des tinies of nations demand wars, when war is the only solu tion of difficulties which perplex the ordinary means of human wit, and the struggle in America is a war of this kind. I do not look upon the peace demonstrations that we have read in the newspapers, although some have accepted them as proofs that we are nearer a settlement, as anything than mere electioneering devices, and therefore, to bring the point to a practical issue, the result of my speculation is that I shall eross my Downs with Cotswolds, and I do think that it is a deficiency on the part of the farmers of Bucks— although I trust that I shall not be offending some of my constituents•• — in adhering so closely to the old system of merely breeding Downs. There is another class of agricul ture on which I should like to say a few words, and I will tell you my views on the subject, and that is with respect to the condition of the labourer. I think the condition of the agricultural labourer is one which requires and deserves great public consideration. I am not entering at all into the question of the remuneration which he receives. The wages of the agricultural labourer, like every other class of la bourers, are totally independent of legislation. The more we interfere on such subjects, the more injury we should do them. But it is a subject of congratulation to us that there is in the county of Buckingham and has been for many years past a tendency to an increase of the wages of the agri cultural labourer. (Hear.) I should say this is the case generally throughout the country, but it is so most decidedly in South Buckinghamshire. But although we do not wish to interfere with the wages of the agricultural labourer, there is a portion of his life which requires our attention, and that is the habitation which he 'occupies. This is not the first time by many that I have,ventured to refer to the subject, and a year or two ago, when I announced that we had no thatched cottages in South ,Buckinghamshire, one of my best friends thought I was casting some reflection on North Buckinghamshire, and vindicated thatched cottages I consider it of the utmost importance that agricultural labourers should be well housed. (Hear.) In my opinion, it is more important than a question of food or raiment. I believe we all eat quite enough and many of us drink a great deal too much, but this I will venturo to say, that made upon us. (Hear.) I very much admire those exhibi tions. I think they have done a great deal for the country, and I am glad that those who were violently opposed to us have followed our example. In fact, any means by which the great body of this increasing population can be more conveniently brought together must be for the public ad vantage. I view with equal satisfaction the philosophical and archao3logical associations which at this time of the year are rambling all over the country. I believe their effect is very beneficial, lam also favourably disposed to excursion trains and harvest homes. I think all these things show that the sort of shy and silent character which during the last century and at the commencement of the present seemed to be the characteristic of Englishmen is not really so, but that we are fast returning to what was the original character of Englishmen. England in the olden days was called " Merrie England," instead of that somewhat sulky England which in the days of our boyhood we recollect. I think all these means by which different classes are broug ht toge ther, and new obj ec t s of i nteres t and new sources of i n terest are open to the m have a beneficial, effect on the general temper and condition of the country. (Hear.) I can upon this occasion congratulate you upon an event which, upon the whole, is the most important that can occur in a country—that is the harvest. (Hear.) I congratulate you that you not only have a good harvest, but a very good harvest. My opinion is, from all I can learn, and from some thing which I have observed, that it is a capital harvest, and that the general result of the harvest has never been done justice to by the press, and, for some reason or other, there was an apparent attempt to persuade the people that nature and Providence had not been so bountiful to them as they ought to have been. As far as the country generally is con cerned, I believe the harvest to be of a very high character. I have reason to believe that of all the counties of England, there is no county in which the harvest is flux° complete and prosperous than in the county of Buckingham. I have seen in several districts of the county crops which ate not by any means inferior to those of last year. It is true that the root crops have not been so successful. You cannot ex pect that everything should be so su ccessful. S ome of the cause s which occasioned the grain crops to be exuberant an d plentiful acted against the root c r op s, b ut even the root crops are not so ba d as many su pp osed the m to be, after all. It is poss ible y ou ma y not be able to p ro duce those very succulent, and I believe you w ill find it a very g reat f avourite with c sh ol o o w es s a o l gbluutbeysouthahtavoa very sometimes juicy obtain u prizes a t agr i cultural y root, the stock. But, gentlemen, I want to impress upon you what an important event a good harvest really is. It is very expedient that the country should contemplate what is the effect upon its fortunes of the difference between a good and a bad harvest. national A bad harvest is, in fact, a substraotion from the wealth,- which perhaps may be equal to the whole amount of those gold mines of which we have of late heard so much. But it is more than that, because it is a loss which must be repaired and that is to be repaired. It can only be repaired by our sending out an equal amount of gold in order to obtain thosewhich are wanting. I should means like of tosupporting ask n gentleman here—and there are many who are competen t full y to co nsider the question — what would have been the effect up o n England if this ye ar a the peopl e there had been gold drains and you had been obliged to which must have followed. send out £20,000,0 00 of g old in order to import susten ance Why, it is difficult to cal foourl a t t h e e t he injurious people o fthis consequences The country.is said to be —and I do ubt not it is — in a st ate of great prosperity. T he p rofits of trade have been v er y great now for a series of y ears, and I am not at all incli ned to be one of those alarmis ts who al ways prevail, and w hen there is a state of great p ros p erit y a re always preparing y ou for a condition of affairs v er y differ ent. But every impa rtial country. man who clearly observes what is taking place in this coun try cannot withstand the conviction that the commitments of the country are too great, and that we have entered into engagements which it is difficult to fulfil, (Hear.) Well, a good harvest has not only put money into your pockets, has not only enriched an important class, but has averted the ill consequences of an extreme state of excitement and speculation, and probably, if it has not entirely saved us from the injurious coneequer ces of such a condition, it has postponed their occurrence, and by postponing their occur rence has given the opportunity of having recourse to more prudential arrangements which may mitigate these ill con sequences. (near, hear.) Gentlemen, I hardly like to dwell upon this topic, although it is one which really indi rectly concerns us as well as all other classes. lam willing to believe that the prosperity of this country, which has been so striking, although it may receive some temporary sources of diminution, is founded on sound principles, and that on the whole we may not find the collapse of which some persons are afraid. But, assuming that the country is in that state of great prosperity, I would for a moment consider what is the general condition of those classes with ~~ 2 ~.~ ~~ zu~~ PRICE ..4d. STAMPED ....sd. no man can be too well housed. A perfect sanitary con - dition as regards habitations is one which, while it pre serves and defends the inhabitants from the inclemency of the seasons, allows him to breathe and enjoy pure and unvi tiated air. For these reasons it is the truest source of health and wealth. It is therefore a matter of great importance to the farmers that the agriculturist labourers should be well housed. There are great difficulties in the way, and the first difficulty is that it is an investment of capital which does not bring in directly an adequate return ? This is an objection which I consider fallacious. The point is, what do you con sider an adequate return ? Ask the farmer whether he would like to have on his farm his labourers in healthy babita- Cons or living two or three miles from the acres which. they cultivate, in miserable hovels which engender sickness and weaken their energy and strength. The farmer will say I directly—" Give my labourers who reside en my acres and reside in houses which allow them to come to their labour full of energy and vigour, energy and vigour given by sound sleep and pure air. The farm will then be more valu• able to the tenant, and if so, it must bo more valuable to the proprietor, and it does tell upon the rent. In this way the latter will find an adequate return for his investment. I do not say this is an easy difficulty to combat. It is a great one, but it must be met. The question, however, is usually argued as if the proprietor was called upon suddenly to sweep away all the miserable tenements he has inherited, and to cover his estate with model cottages. That is im possible, for you cannot in an instant effect this great change. You cannot unhouse the whole peasantry from an estate at once. It can only be done gradually. Take a model estate of 2,000 acres. On that estate you require a minimum of 60 cottages. The expenditure for creating 60 cottages would probably be £6,000 or £7,000. I have seen the estimate of such an expenditure. Well, how is a man to expend £6,000 or £7,000, which is perhaps three times his rental, unless he has that which we have no right to sup pose—other sources of capital? No one expects anything of the kind. No one expects that because you have dis covered a want in your social system and a duty to perform that it is to be done in a manner injurious to yourselves. You cannot expect every landed proprietor to be a Duke of Northumberland—a man whose hand is as extensive as his fortune, and who built cottages on 200,000 acres at an ex• pense of some £50,000. Her Majesty conferred a riband on the Duke of Northumberland because ho created a Channel fleet at the moment we had none; but the man who lays out £500,000 in building cottages on his estate as much de serves a blue riband as the man who creates a Channel fleet, or even at the head of a Channel fleet leeds us on to victory. (Cheers.) Every man cannot do what the Duke of North umberland has done, but every man can do something. He may build a few cottages, or repair others. You ought to keep before your eyes, clearly and closely, the object you have to attain, and avail yourselves of every opportunity of accomplishing the result. (Hear,) The other day I saw some inferior tenements built by persons who speculate in building cottages. These inferior tenements were purchased and con verted into excellent cottages—not exactly model cottages, but cottages in which a man may live iu health and in some degree of comfort and happiness. These are opportunities of which every man may avail himself. This is a duty which must be performed. (Hear.) The question is becoming both n town and country ono of paramount interest. Tho great ness of the country depends on the race that fills it, and, whatever our ancestors may hava done to make the country great or famous, whatever liberty they may have acquired, whatever wealth they may have accumulated, if the race becomes inferior, you lose all these results and all these blessings. It is a question to which we must give our minds. 1 do not touch on the scenes of life in our great cities. They are familiar to all. They prove that wretchedness and crime are co-ordinate ; but, while we deplore the condition of our working classes in our great cities, it is impossible any longer to shut our eyes to the condition of our agricultural labourers, and it is our duty to sot an example on this sub ject. I was reading lately in an old book written more than 200 years ago, and I was surprised to find that this question, which is supposed to be one of modern origin dis covered by the philosophers of the 19th century, had at. trated the attention of society nearly 300 years ago. Nearly 300 years ago, to the honour and glory of the Church, in. tramural sepulture was forbidden. I may then say that there is nothing new under the sun, and what we look upon as the result of enlightenment and progress was practically considered a considerable time ago. A very great scholar observed that in his opinion the declaration of the wisest of mankind, " Vanity of vanities, all is vanity," was not a misprint, but a mistake of the copyist, and that he believed the words really were not " Vanitas vanitatum, omnia vanites," but " Sanitas Eanitatum, (mania s ;nitas." Now, I quite agree that it must have been a misquotation of the words cf the wise King of Israel, and, if ho, that this would has e constituted one of his hest claims to be consi dered the wisest of mankind. I have ventured to place be fore you the condition of the three classes of the agricul- tural world, and I think that wo may all of us look with some interest on our position. As tar as this country is concerned, I am willing to admit that there hos been some improvement in the condition of the labouring class ; but I do not want it to bo supposed that I am making any cri•ical remarks on the conduct cf the landlords or the tenants. I tan sensible that as much fault lies with the lt.bouring class • themselves ; and it is for this reason that I intend, with the permission of the committee, to offer a prize of £5 for the cottage that is kept in the best condition. I think it has been said before, to show the aselessness of such prizes, that what we want is new cottages, and not rewards for keeping old ones in good order, I think that criticism is quite supeifluuus. What we want is to bring the attention of the people themselves to the subject. Now, although it is humiliating to confess, yet I do confess, that cleanliness and order are not matters of instinct ; they are matters of education, and, like most great things—mathematics and classics—you must cultivate a taste for them. People, from neglect and being left alone, will wallow in the mire, like brutes and beasts, and not complain cf the condition in which they are placed. If you offer a prize you awake the attention of the community to the subject. They try to obtain a prize, and although only one man obtains a prize, in the research and pursuit of the prize they discover such sources of delight and such new causes of happiness and content that you educate them to that cleanliness and order which you want to instil into their minds. (Hear, hear.) Therefore, I am of opinion that a priz e of that kind, if I am permitted to offer it, will not be fruitless. (Hear.) 1 thank you, gentlemen, on the part of myself and my cola leagues, for the kindness with which our names have been received. In making these remarks on the general condi tion of the agricultural interest I think it is one to which we may generally look with satisfaction and content, but at the same time with an increased sense of our duties, both as proprietors and occupiers, and a conviction that in proving the condition of the labouring classes engaged in agriculture we are, in fact, increasing the sources of our own wealth, and confirming the sources of our own hap piness. The right hon. gentleman resumed his seat amid loud and prolonged cheering. • The toast was also responded to by Mr BERNARD and Mr SMITH, and several other toasts were afterwards given aid acknowledged.

BRIGGS. It has been decided that the prisoner Muller shall be pre sent on Monday morning next, at the adjourned coroner's inquest. Mr Humphreys forwarded an application to Sir George Grey, to the effect that it was desirable Muller should be brought up before the jury, in order that his iden tity might be established to their satisfaction. This appliM cation being remitted to Sir Richard Mayne, the Chief Commissioner, atter consulting the detective inspectors who have charge of the case, reported his approval of the recom mendation to Sir G. Grey, whoissued the necessary order. The prisoner will be taken direct from the Town Hall, Hackney, where the inquest is sitting, to the Bow-street Police-court, where the magisterial examination will be re sumed. After his examination at Bow-street on Monday last, when removed to the cell, Muller inveighed bitterly against the evidence which had been given by Matthews respecting the hat which was found in the railway carriage. The prisoner stigmatised the evidence given about this hat as false, saying there was not one word of truth in it ; that Matthews knew he (Muller) had worn out the hat bought for him at Walker's long ago, and that the rim on one side was broken ; that the evidence had been given out of spite because he (Muller) had threatened to give a relation of Matthews's into custody for theft some time ago, Concern ing the identification of the hat found in Muller's trunk on board the Victoria, and which is supposed to have belonged to the murdered gentleman, some further evidence is likely to be forthcoming. One of the shopraen of Mr Digance, the hatter, has, it appears, a distinct remembrance of selling the hat to Mr Briggs, who, at the time, because it did not fit him, had a peculiar alteration made in the lining, which the shopman can identify. It was, mere• over, a practice in the shop to mark on the inner side of tho leath.tr lining the date when the article was pur chased, which may afford an additional clue. The follow 77ng is a copy of the letter which was handed to Muller in New York by an agent of the " Society for the Legal Pro tection of Germans in London :" New York, Aug., 1864. Mr Francis Millar, on board the victoria —I have been instructed by the Hon. Secretary of the Society for the Legal Protection of Germans inLondon, to communicate to you that the said society have taken your c.aso into their hands, and have appointed Mr Thomas Beard, solicitor, of No. 19, Basinghall-street, in London, to act in your behalf, You may address yourself, as soon as you arrive in Eng land, to the President of the above-named society, Mr M. D. Luker, of No. 2, Tower Royal, Cannon-street, London, B.C. In the meantime , it may be advisable for you not to make any communication whatever to the authorities or to private individuals, without previous advice of a solicitor. Up to my latest advices from London, the German Society still consider you to be innocent of the c: io) yin are ac cused of, and have resolved, in case no further advices should alter their opinion, to save no trouble or expense to pr o ve your being nut guilty, if this is the case.

The Treaty between Franc, The French andgtalian papers receivediestefty S discuss with increased confidence and with more detail the alleged treaty between France and Italy regarding the evacuation of Rome by the French troops. The statement which is at the same time the most explicit and apparently possesses most authority is the following, which is communicatod by the Turin correspondent of the independence Beige, under date the 17th inst. The following are the principal features of the convention :—" France will intimate to the Pope that within two years' time at meat the French army will entirely abandon the Pontifical States, if the Government of the Pope will be able to take steps for the formation of an army. Just as the organisation of the pontficai army will proceed an equivalent number of French soldiers will leave tbe territories of the Holy Father. In order to afford facilities to the Papal Government for the es , . - ablish• merit of this force, France wilt allow it to enlist French volunteers, rind of course Catholic rations will b 3 anxious to follow the example of France. The King at Italy, on his part, er gages not to attack the Papal States, and to pro eat any armed. bands from enteling the Pontifical territory; but there is no new preposition of any reconciliation with the Pope. The King would not expose himself to a refusal that is foreseen after so many solemn and repeated declarations. The King has, moreover, determined on adopting a measure which may be regarded as a great concession to the Papacy. 110 has consented to fix the capital of the kingdom .definitively at Florence. This transfer of the seat of government will probably be very vigorously assailed by the party of opposition, but wise people will allow for the situation of the King, and will comprehend the reasons which have made him act as he has done. Parliament will meet on the let of October, in order that the Government mky obtain from it a ratification of the arrangements between the two Cabinets. The Ministry have faith in the patriotism of Italians, and they reckon on the support of a very large majority. Count Vimercati has been sent to M, Ratezzi, who is at present at Baden-Baden, to ask for the patriotic adhesion of that statesman." The Independance says, in reference to the above : " The Turin correspondent who transmitted to us the first information upon the nature and the scope of the negotiations in question, and who has just communicated to us, in terms as precise and as positive, the result those negotiations have led to, deserves the utmost confidence, and we are per suaded that when the veil falls which still sur■ rounds this diplomatic mystery, facts will prove, to a certain extent at least, the importance and the accuracy of the communications we have repro duced." The Opinione of Turin is very precise. It says in its edition of the 16th—" We are informed that yesterday evening, the 15th September, the conven tion between the French and Italian Governments concerning the cessation of the French occupation of Rome in two years was signed in Paris. M. Drouyn de Lhuys signed for France; Chevelier Constantine Nigra, chief plenipotentiary, and the Marquis Pepoli, minister plenipotentiary in extra ordinary mission, signed for Italy. We are also in formed that the King's Government, with the view of communicating these stipulations to the national Parliament at the earliest period, has determined to summon the Chambers for the 4th of October." The .Nord says—" It is incontestible that the mission of MM. Menabrea and Pepoli to the Enape• ror of the French has had some result, and. that the Roman question has just made a great step towards its solution, despite the contradictory assertions of the semi-official papers. Our own information con firms the fact of the convention concluded between the Governments of France and Italy, the delay of two years as the extreme term of the occupation of Rome by the French troops, and, finally, the en gagement entered into by the Turin Cabinet to make the Pontifical frontiers respected." The 7esnps refers to the treaty in the same eon- • fident terms. It says—" It is impossible any longer to doubt that the Roman question is at last ap proaching the solution wriich it has so long claimed, and which principles claimed for it. It was essential that the occupation of Rome, "ou nous sonanes sans drott," should cease some day or other, and it appears that the time is hence forth fired, and that a delay of two years has been. or is to be signified to the Pontifical government. The semi-official press at Pais maintains at present great reserve. But the afirma•ions of the Turin journals have become too emphatic to leave room for the slightest doubt. It is probable that other clauses accotnpany end complete the stipulation of the delay of two years; but it would be idle to comment upon. the indiscretions of the Italian press, as we shall very soon know—at the latest in the early "part of the next month—the tenor of the conventions de. Bided between the governments of France:and Italy. Few people, even among the most impatient, will be surprised by the concessions which may have been introduced into the convention for the purpose of preparing and mitigating an inevitable denou. meld. On the other hand, the friends of the Holy See ought, if wise, to rejoice the first at the end of a state of things which was in no way profitable to their cause. It ought to be obvious to eaerybody that, though the French occupation of Rome has suspended the natural course of things, it has con solidated nothing, and to say the truth, has even restored nothing. The Holy See, including its tem• poral rule, is a moral power which can only be sus• tained by a purely moral prestige. The material assistance so long afforded to it, far from having been favourable, has injured it, for it has sown the seeds of schism in Italy, and withdrawn from its moral power all the transitory security it gave to its political authority. The hour has come for the Holy See to transform itself if it can, but it is clear that circumstances are much less propitious than at the accession of Pius IX," The Presse says—" If it is true that France um. dertakcs to recal its troops from Rome in a fixed time, the Italian question advances towards a solve tion, while taking new ground. In our opinion this engagement amounts to the abdication of the. Italian pretensions to Rome ; Italy henceforth cons centrates her efforts upon Venioe, and, above all, she endeavours to find a provisional capital, She may transfer the seat of her government to Florence, but the provisional so soon becomes the definitive: , The Debuts is of opinion that the Italian Govern ment will do well to transfer the capital to Florence, if only for military reasons. It says :—By estab lishing himself in Florence the King of Italy allows nothing to peep out as to what he hopes or does not . hope with regard to Rome; but he clearly shows his thoughts with regard to Venice and Austria. Against an army issuing from the famous quadri lateral, nothing defends, nothing can defend, the plain of Lombardy and the access to Turin—no thing, unless it be a victory obtained in the open field. Turin is so situated that, in case of war, a battle mast always be fought to save it, even if fought on disadvantageous conditions. The coup. cillors of the King of Italy no doubt thought that, in the ambiguous state in which Europe is placed, when every spring for the last four years has been like a sword of Damocles suspended over the head of the most pacific nations, is was not wise to rest content with such an exposed capital. Florence protected against an arm y in vading Lombardy , not o nly by distance but by the lino of the Po , by t he citadels of Alessandria, Piacenza, Ferrara, the Appennines ; Florence besides possessing every• thing which constitutes the charm of life in a capital, and everything which can symbolise the majesty of a great kingdom ; Florence would offer striking advantages of situation to such Italians as the future disturbs, and who, right or wrong, fore see coming days when they may be compelled to struggle anew for their independence. This is enough to explain the long conceived prcject of placing, at all events provisionally, the seat of the Italian Government in Florence. If this project ba executed, it will be a sufficient precaution on the part of the Italians, which doubtless ought not to excite any particular alarm among us for the main, tenancy of peace, but which nevertheless will re mind us of the precarious state of Europe, and of the many combinations which may result, and which are certainly less probable than the Franco. Italian treaty that Italy is at this moment ardeutly discussing."
